Chapter 96: Chapter 87: Extermination of the Family (Request for First Subscription and Full Subscription!)_2
...
Night sky.
Two striking trails cut through the firmament, one in pursuit, one in escape, stirring a wave of shock. Upon witnessing the amazing disturbance, some couldn’t help but feel terrified, hastily avoiding it, not daring to get close at all.
One trail is blood-colored, filled with malicious aura, ahead;
The other trail is azure, tinged with murderous intent, behind.
The two are Old Demon Lin and Divine Feather Grand General.
Old Demon Lin continuously burns his blood, achieving an extreme speed. Yet, Divine Feather Grand General somehow employs a secret technique, barely keeping up, which surprises Old Demon Lin, prompting him to angrily shout:
"Divine Feather, you annihilate my Death Fire Abyss branch, and still aim to wipe us out, such great ambition!"
From afar, Divine Feather Grand General’s cold voice replies:
"Rest assured, you won’t escape."
"How long can you sustain the Blood Burning Technique consuming your essence blood?"
Old Demon Lin sneers:
"Sustain how long? I’ve consumed the Blood Demon Flower, as for how long, at least two days and nights with no issue."
Divine Feather Grand General inwardly tensed, yet still indifferently stated:
"Then, this General will pursue you for two days and nights!"
"If you have the ability, go ahead and call for reinforcements, this General considers the credit insufficient!"
The two continually exchange fierce words, essentially probing each other, gauging the other’s resolve.
Without a doubt.
Divine Feather Grand General’s words silenced Old Demon Lin.
His current state is indeed poor, critically injured, though forcing himself by using the Blood Demon Flower to support the Blood Burning Technique, he perceives the gradual loss of the medicinal effect, his injury worsening, after all, the Blood Demon Flower can’t fully replace the Blood Burning Technique’s consumption.
Yet most crucially, he can’t shake off Divine Feather Grand General.
Having consumed the Blood Demon Flower, its presence is impossible to conceal, hiding is impossible. Even tens of miles apart, it can be sensed, that fellow just tails him distantly, not knowing what treasure or secret technique employed, state superior even to his after consuming the Blood Demon Flower, just waiting for his condition to deteriorate.
"What to do?" Old Demon Lin’s mind spiraled with thoughts.
He originally intended to signal for other Demon Sect experts to aid, but poorly, it’d be like the gourd doll saving its grandfather, as he realizes, the battle at Death Fire Abyss probably concluded, the Celestial Human Realm experts from the Imperial Court already behind the two.
If only a few Demon Sect experts arrive, it’s just serving oneself up.
The Blood Demon Flower can only support him for two days, afterward burning his essence blood fully, wouldn’t last long.
This kind of time, simply doesn’t allow mobilizing sufficiently mighty experts from elsewhere, nor possible for him to escape too far, Demon Sect headquarters is remote, not quickly reachable.
"If heading toward Yun State, indeed could reach another branch, yet... that branch’s strength is even less than our Death Fire Abyss, going there wouldn’t help."
Old Demon Lin dismisses thoughts one by one.
Bitterly realizing, he’s trapped in a deadlock.
The best outcome seemingly runs for two days then exhausts, subsequently caught and slain by Divine Feather Grand General.
The Blood Demon Flower burns relentlessly.
Suddenly.
Old Demon Lin’s body trembles, eyes glimmer with remarkable light.
"No! Not quite, I still have a chance!"
"Heading towards Qing State, there’s a perilous place called Black Wind Cliff, its Black Killing Gang Wind incredibly terrifying, even Celestial Human Realm figures mistakenly entering face nine deaths, yet still holds a sliver of life!"
"Given the deadlock, I might as well gamble, entering Black Wind Cliff, Divine Feather surely dares not chase me, nine deaths and one survival are better than certain death!"
Old Demon Lin’s eyes radiate madness.
This might be his sole chance.
Within a few breaths, he decisively resolves.
Gamble!
"To Qing State!"
"Perfect, while venting my frustration!"
Old Demon Lin’s eyes fill with a grim smile.
This time in the battle at Death Fire Abyss, his hatred naturally aimed at Divine Feather Grand General, the animosity of exterminating his sect and pursuing mortal revenge are insufferable.
Secondly, it’s Wang Quan.
He previously overheard some shouting fervently during the battle, it’s that old fool Wang Quan wielding the Martial Saint Token who brought so many reinforcements, had it not been for this, how would he be in such circumstances.
Finally, it’s Taoist Longshan.
Old Demon Lin feels, if not for Taoist Longshan hosting some absurd Celestial Being Grand Ceremony, how would so many Celestial Human beings have gathered.
Divine Feather Grand General, for now, he can’t deal with, but those two, he could vent his ire on.
Previously sent the battle blade flying, not knowing whether those two were killed, unable to dissipate his inner rage, now passing by Qing State, naturally, he must collect some interest.
If he recalls correctly.
The Wang Clan and True Martial Sect, both reside in Qing State!
Old Demon Lin’s malicious thought arises, no longer suppressing it. Demon Sect people seek vengeance for every grievance, the Blood Demon Flower can sustain him for two days, presently heading to Black Wind Cliff requires a little over a day, consuming some energy to strike is entirely feasible.
Anyway, it’s only dealing with two forces without a Celestial Human Realm presence, won’t take much time, matter easily handled.
Thinking thus.
Old Demon Lin erupts suddenly, blood light soaring skyward, additionally glaring, his speed abruptly climbs a notch.
Divine Feather Grand General trailing behind eyes turn icy.
"Trying to flee? Impossible!"
A glow flickers indistinctly amidst his grasp, fusing with the azure armor on his body, speed also rises a notch, yet not matching Old Demon Lin, the gap steadily widening, only, Divine Feather Grand General remains unhurried, knowing such an outburst from Old Demon Lin won’t last long, merely keeping pace would allow the gap to gradually close again.
"Old Demon Lin, struggle all you want, you’re undoubtedly doomed!" His mouth curls into a cold smile.
...
Qing State.
Wang Clan Hua Mansion.
The sunset like blood streaming over the mansion and pavilions’ glazed tiles, casting splendid hues, invoking awe and envy in passersby.
Despite Taoist Longshan previously coming for trouble, causing Wang Clan to lose considerable face, some laud Wang Clan’s generosity, in this city, Wang Clan remains an absolute ruler.
At this moment.
Wang Clan’s head Wang Qinghe is examining the family’s young members’ cultivation progress, reprimands echoing through the Martial Arts Arena:
"You possess the finest cultivation resources, yet repay the family thus, do you feel any guilt?"
"This time the Ancestor attending the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony, if granted the celestial being opportunity, would you be the beneficiaries? If this chance falls to another branch, in a century, you would no longer be principal lineage members!"
He roars, numerous young members lower heads, trembling.
Suddenly.
One person raises their head, pupils dilate, stammeringly says:
"Patriarch, blood... blood..."
Wang Qinghe extremely impatient.
"Blood what blood, isn’t it just the sunset glow, useless things..."
As he turns his head while cursing, immediately, the angry cursing halts abruptly, shock surges in his eyes, sensing a staggering disturbance.
"Celestial Being..."
In the distant sky.
A blood-red light streaks across, laden with a glaring malicious aura, for some unknown reason, Wang Qinghe feels that blood light charging toward Wang Clan.
His intuition proves accurate.
In a flash.
That blood light halts above Wang Mansion, a grim white-haired old man appears before everyone’s eyes, an overwhelming pressure bursts forth, some younger Wang Clan members and servants already kneeling.
"Pre... senior... This is Qing State’s Wang Clan..." Wang Qinghe nervously speaks.
Old Demon Lin glances at the gate’s Wang plaque, mouth curling into a sinister smile.
"Wang Clan? You’re precisely who I’m after!"
He waves a hand.
The Blood Demon Flower’s power within him surges continually.
The power of heaven and earth trembles.
In an instant, terrifying blood-red blade qi ascends skyward, slashing towards Wang Mansion.
